Secretariat

The Global Horticulture Initiative Secretariat, hosting administrative, technical and virtual network operations, was initially based at AVRDC - The World Vegetable Center headquarters in Taiwan, to minimize operational and start-up infrastructural costs. Currently the Secretariat of the Global Horticulture Initiative has found its ground at the AVRDC’s Regional Center for Africa, which has over 10 years of experience in its global mandate: vegetable research and development.

Administrative Duties
The Global Horticulture Initiative Secretariat is providing administrative support to the Global Horticulture Initiative interim Executive Committee and the Advisory Group through its administration staff. The staff will handle fiscal affairs, budgetary and personnel issues, administrative management aspects, and legal and logistic support.

Communication and Strategic Capacity
Technical staff will be responsible for planning and implementing the work agenda, covering all of the research for development themes. This staff duty will also include the information and communication networks. The networking partners are not necessarily gathered in one place, and will therefore benefit from the virtual status of the Global Horticulture Initiative.

Monitoring and Evaluation
The monitoring and evaluation activities would appraise the impact of Global Horticulture Initiative operations and propose adjustments to increase effectiveness. Evaluations will be mainly conducted by a virtual group of external agents that will report to the Global Horticulture Initiative Secretariat.
